Travel abroad and you are bound to see people doing things a bit differently. If the yellow-bellied three-toed skink were to go wandering, though, it would find members of its own species giving birth in a completely different way.
Skinks from the northern highlands of New South Wales give birth to live young, but those living in the coastal regions near Sydney lay eggs.

SCIENCE! Its works bitches!
